Postpartum Doula Services
Research has shown that parents who receive postpartum support have lower incidence of postpartum depression and feel more confident in their adjustment to new family dynamics. Traditionally, postpartum support came from one's family and close-knit community, but today such support is not always readily available. Parents often feel unsure and alone as they do their best to manage and "survive" the first days, weeks, and months. You don't have to struggle through these early days though. With nurture, guidance, and support your growing family will thrive!
As your Postpartum Doula I will equip you with knowledge and resources, helping you to find your confidence so that you feel fully prepared to care for your baby and yourself. I strive to lessen your load and provide care and support for the whole family. The specifics of my duties will depend on your needs and preferences, and will likely vary during my time with you. When in doubt, feel free to ask if a particular duty is within my scope of practice. You will likely be amazed by all the ways I can and will help.

My Duties Often Include:
My Duties Do Not Include:

My services begin with a complimentary consultation call. There is no fee and no obligation, just a chance to discuss your needs, preferences, and any questions you may have about myself and the variety of services I offer. If you choose, we will then schedule an in-person meeting to go over further details and create your personalized Service Agreement.

I offer a variety of service packages and per diem services, with minimum shifts of four hours for daytime and ten hours for overnight care. I require a signed Service Agreement and a deposit prior to reserving any dates. As your care is completely customized, I will hold space for you based upon your scheduling preferences and the number of hours you choose to contract for, allowing for a "due month" rather than a "due date". I always do my best to accommodate your personal needs and preferences in scheduling.
